The Goal: Add or update the location and address for an event so the system generates a map and displays the location details on your published event page.
Before You Begin:
- You need permission to edit events.
- Have the event's location name and full address ready.
Step-by-Step Instructions
On the Overview tab of an event, you will be able to enter address information, which will be used by the system to generate a map of the location.
- Go to Events & Learning, Events section, click All Events, then open the event you want to update.
In the Location section of the event, click the pencil icon
.
In the Edit Event Location window configure the following:
- Enter the Location Name: The type ahead searching feature allows you to start typing the Location name, and it searches your organizations, individuals, and past event names.
- If you select a name from the type ahead feature, it will pre-populate the name and address field of the person/org/location you selected.
- If you do not select an item from the type ahead, the address fields are left blank and you are able to type in a new location name and address.
- Enter a Location Description: This allows you to add additional information about the location of the event (such as where to park), and will be displayed on your event page.
- Enter the Location Name: The type ahead searching feature allows you to start typing the Location name, and it searches your organizations, individuals, and past event names.
- Click Done.
Common Pitfalls
- Map not appearing: If the map does not display on your published event details page, confirm you entered a complete, valid street address (not just a location name) and that you clicked Done to save your changes.
